Post your New, and Great Screenshots!

[RADiator]

There was an article in some mag at the time of HL2 release describing the tech used in the game. This seems to be an excerpt from it. Cant tell for sure though, stumbled across those two today.

[Yian]

Wow, those are nice! I wonder who they used for Gordon Freeman.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Actually I think (not having read the book) those are from Raising the Bar.


I could be (very, easily, quite) wrong, but I think that Alyx was modeled after her voice actor, pictured.


EDIT:Ray planted the seed of doubt. I think I may be wrong...

[NiteX]

I think it would be very odd to see myself in a video game. Man I can't get over how much Professor Isaac Kliener looks just like his real person. Same with Vance.

[RADiator]

@Dark_Swordmaster: Good guess, might be.

T:V and some HoMM5

[King Of Nothing]

I can't tell exactly where I read it but the HL2 models above are indeed used as source metarial but I just can't recall if they are strictly modelled after models or just their faces used as referance. And also Gordon Freeman wasn't based on such material (if I recall correctly had several inspirations, including Johnny Deep's apperance from The Ninth* Gate)

*edit: thanks, now I must seek redemeption for my sin :P

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Does Vengence bring back any Tribes type feel? I miss my old Tribes days. Tribes 2 was... Meh... Skyjack... I liked that map...


I saw the cover on The Seventh (I thought it was Ninth) Gate and said, "Gordon Freeman!!!". Yeah, It looks very similar.

[Mechanerd]

While I wouldn't say that tribes vengeance brought back the 'good old days' of tribes its one hell of a good UE2 game.
Like UT2004 but with jetpacks really, so its got top notch gameplay.
I enjoyed it alot, and for once it was a game with a nice story thats well written and interesting.

The disc launcher also kicks major ass, one of the most satisfying weapons I've ever used in an FPS, just felt... right.

Its a shame it didn't get the good sales it deserved.

[RADiator]

Ahh, they don't make them like this anymore.

http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/166/grim6vo.th.jpg (http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=grim6vo.jpg)

@Dark_Swordmaster: I've got conflicting feelings about T:V. On one hand multiplayer was reasonably fun. On the other hand however we have the singleplayer level called Proof. Umm, lets just say I wouldn't wish even an enemy to endure that one...

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Never played Grim Fandango, really want to. I really wish they'd release a huge 10CD collection of all the LucasArts adventure games. I may be mistaken but wasn't every single one a hit?

[RAY16]

I love Grim Fandango. Awesome soundtrack, voice acting...awesome everything.

[tisl]

Edit: Found.

[Jwr5]

Grim Fandango has got to be one of the best games ive ever played
i wish they still made games like that:(

[Fortune Hunter]

I never got to play Grim Fandango (regretfully)

But I played all 4 Monkey Island games and loved every minute, I happily own all of em.

Lucasarts adventure games were the bomb...

[Yian]

I still have Grim Fandango's CD! :D Maybe I will play it again at some point.

Shame it doesnt seem anything like the game to me =P

Bwahaha!

Thats an understatement. Unlike you westerners, gaming here is a serious hobby! For some its even a career! :p

Hey mwmorph, what skin are you using for your desktop? It looks sweet? Care to provide a link?

I see that Daemon tools is currently activated on your desktop.. welcome to the darkside brother, you are truly Dysfunctional.

I see that Daemon tools is currently activated on your desktop.. welcome to the darkside brother, you are truly Dysfunctional.

There are legitimate uses for virtual drives, you know. I had to install Windows Vista Beta 2 (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx) from a virtual drive because I don't have a DVD burner.

[mwmorph]

Hahahahaha...

Hey mwmorph, what skin are you using for your desktop? It looks sweet? Care to provide a link?


Trust me you dont want this. I was stupid enough to try it.

It's a permanant skin. It actually replaces windows files.

It's a old file like vista beta 2 theme or something. It instalsl a combo of
Vista bricopacks(overwrites windows files)
http://www.crystalxp.net/galerie/en.id.130.htm

Longhorn toolbar thingy

Glass2k(for transperency)

windowsblinds vista theme

Now I have problems with my toolbar and some windows utilities(like defrag) dont work. I also cant install hp printer drivers for some reason.

Just get the Vista bricopack. It's very close to the thing im using but wont destroy your system because it's reversible.

I see that Daemon tools is currently activated on your desktop.. welcome to the darkside brother, you are truly Dysfunctional.


I have daemon tools because I have my windows xp cd permantly mounted. Every once in a while, I need files off my xp cd to restore my bad files from the theme. Otherwise my system goes crazy with odd icons and crazy random crashes and fault exceptions.

I would reinstall xp, but dont have the time to backup all my data and reinstall all my games.

[Yian]

Wow, your system sounds really screwed up... how did it end up like that!?

And thanks for the advice. Yeah, I would love to have a cool looking desktop, and I once had a really kick-ass one from WindowBlinds, but then my scanner won't work (freeze Photoshop everytime.) They either use too much ram or corrupt something.

I have boiling point, never finished it though, it was just so god dammed buggy, which is a pity it was fairly decent and very open.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

I don't recall hearing about Boiling Point.

Yes, Bloodmoney was painfully easy. And the last three levels are total, complete, awful, horrible, SHIT SHIT SHIT! Other than the last three levels however, the game's pretty damn good.

[xenophage]

Blood Money is pretty buggy as well. Stupid fucking random crashes

Wow. The best I could manage was in the 70s and early 80s.

[RAY16]

Wow. The best I could manage was in the 70s and early 80s.

Ha, both of you suck. I got all 100's on hard (which is stupidly easy).

[FATMAN]

Ha, both of you suck. I got all 100's on hard (which is stupidly easy).

hmm try playin only with thermal goggles on, that should up the challenge or maybe even the third goggle setting (I kinda forgot what it was called :confused: )

[No Soul]

The patches for Boiling Point fixed most of the bugs. Though I kind of miss the AI's shitty pathfinding skills. Within an hour of playing it I had a shit load of guns, ammo, and armor.

Blood Money was great all-round. The only mission I truely hated was the wedding one, technically I finished it in about 4 minutes not 7. I just decided to follow the groom around, kind of pointless as I killed him in the same place I first saw him (hall, he was found a minute later by the bitch). Other than that, a random crash after finishing Amendment pissed me off (one time throughout the whole game).

How the fuck do you get 100 on SCCT levels? I did all the objectives (including opportunity), didn't kill anyone, no alarms or "OMGW(ho)TF is that? Killzem!", and no bodies where found. Shit I never used more than 4 bullets in a single level. I ended up using some equipment on the last few levels. I'm inclined to believe that I was deducted because of how long I took and/or how many people I knocked out (I went ape-shit on one level knocking everyone out). Either fucking way SCCT is gone and most likely never to be installed again.



Here's the last pic I took of Oblivion before uninstalling it. Fucking Tree-Eating Monsters.

[Fortune Hunter]

Worth Trying?

[dimsum411]

The career mode is varied enough to keep you occupied for a while. It could've done without the rpg elements, but thats just me. The game also has its quirky gimmicks such as the oddly named Tiger-Effect aka rewind-time feature ala PoP, which works surprisingly well to undo mistakes on unfamiliar tracks.

I'm surprised this only released for EU/UK audiences, what with the genre being bare as it is on the PC. Its very pretty with the antialiasing & hdr, and runs smooth as silk (65+ on 6800gs), as a racing title should. Go for it!

[tisl]

I tried that one. I hated it. It has so much bullshit. RPG elements don't work in a driving game. If some guy is behind you the screen suddenly gets blurry and crap. "WHAT THE FUCK?!", right? The reason for that is your "character" doesn't have any balls and gets nervous. Jesus fucking hell. Why do I need stats in a racing game? I'M the one who gets to decide when I get nervous, not the game! The cars don't handle that great either. Granted, I only spent about 20 minutes with that piece of crap, but it felt like they were glued to the track and the only way you could actually lose control is by being a woman.

Pick up GTR if you really want to race. If you really want the eye candy just wait until GTR2 or the next Test Drive. The latest Toca isn't too bad either. Lots of cars and lots of tracks with average physics.

[dimsum411]

Yeah, the intimidation thing was stupid. I actually cheated so my bar never runs out. Warning, the narrator is very badly dubbed and his itali-english vernacular is eye gougingly horrid.

Is there a car listing for GTR and Toca out?

[tisl]

On the back of my Toca box it says "over 70 licensed race cars". GTR has a lot less, since they spent quite a bit of time on the physics of each car to make it as accurate as possible. http://www.10tacle.com/gtr-game/en/index.php?Teams

[RAY16]

I like rFactors physics more than GTR's. rFactor is one of the few games were my car really feels like it's being pulled down by gravity, like it actually has weight, and like I'm really in the car. GTR has good physics, but I still feel like my car is floating right above the surface of the asphalt and being simulated, rather than actually being on the asphalt and being a real car.... It's hard to explain.

[Fortune Hunter]

Toca 3 is good, but Toca 2 had better cars.

It has so many crappy hatchbacks and coupes and Its just not very cool. Its a good sim, and the Monster Trucks and various off road or antiques make it interesting, but Toca 2 was so much better.

I havent Played GTR, was gonna wait for 2, but it looks better, although all its cars though exotic are race versions.

Im really waiting for Test Drive because that looks more my style...

[NiteX]

Well I have been wanting a decent racing game for PC for a while now. I'm thinking I will just wait for Flat Out 2.

[Fortune Hunter]

Well I have been wanting a decent racing game for PC for a while now. I'm thinking I will just wait for Flat Out 2.

OH YEAH!

Flat Out 2 is going to be where its at... its an arcade racer but still, FlatOut was amazing... simply amazing...

[Mechanerd]

I was gonna post some HL2 ep 1 shots(seeing as how I finished the bastard last week) but I figured you people would rather have me not spoil it.
Suffice to say, it has another cliff hanger ending, ooh bet no one saw that coming. :p

Oh yeah and the PC demo for Prey is coming out soon.

This game rivals Kligon for the silliest developed language.

[RogerWilco]

I think I have a better understanding of Klingon than with whatever the hell he said

[FATMAN]

hmm well ok

MC = Molten Core (its a 40 man instance[40 different players join up to play in a huge ass dungeon and kill bosses for stuff to use])

Onyxia is another 40 man instance but only contains one huge ass dragon and is a bitch to kill.

Farm status means that we can usually do it on one attempt with the whole raid wiping.

ZG = Zul Gurub (A 20 man instance)

T1 , T2 = Tier 1 and Tier 2 gear. The different type of armor that drops for specific classes

[karny]

Dude they don't give a shit.

Yes. You've more than doubled the size of the page. We can't have that. Sorry, but your pinkies now belong to us...

Anyone else agree that the Doom³ engine looks infinitely shittier in screenies? In motion it can look stellar (well, as much as it's limitedness can) but screenies just destroy the entire thing...

[xenophage]

The game looks blown man, just play it... And if you're not a big fan of the visuals, play it for the gameplay

[xenophage]

K ma bad, sometimes I forget I had a crappy connection too :D

[Digital Limit]

Mmm, hopefully the singplayer is long and the multiplayer is worth my time.

*Prays for Prey*

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Ray states that the MP, as in most other Doom³ powered games is horribly unbalanced.

I played Doom³ MP for the first time the day I got it and went around 7 rounds undefeated, unfragged. The rocket launcher needs a nerf in it.

Apparently Prey is the same.

[NiteX]

Most of the servers right now in prey are so god damn laggy you can't really even begin to tell if its unbalanced. I was just playing some Quake 4 the other day and trying out Prey MP seems as equally balanced as it. I must say though Prey MP is unlike any FPS MP I have ever played before. Oh one thing I must praise is the frame rate I get on this game. I do have a nice system but hot damn Quake 4 doesn't give me nearly this nice of frames maxed out. Prey is maxed out as much as I can and it doesnt' drop below 40 frames. Very nice job Human Head.


{EDIT}

I love how this game uses the Doom 3 engine and is never dark.

Hellgate better see the light of day. It's one of the top games I'm looking forward to.

[xenophage]

Yeah, but I hope the devs don't STALK it up

Bow down to it.
I do, twice a day.

[Digital Limit]

No shit, what happened to STALKER?

[King Of Nothing]

It became a Boiling Point mod :P

btw, I patched up Boiling point, and set it to medium setting, it had occasinal hicups in the city, I changed to low, it became unplayable, then when set it to best ran smoother then medium settings... WTFCHOPTER?

You're kidding, right? That game looked fucking tight.

I wish I was the one f'cking around, some 'tards that pass as developer f'cked up a potenially nice game;

Following other people's suggestions I got the game to run well. Well enough to
play with alot of pauses at 800X600X16.
Now I'm not going to repeat what other people have said, but from my few
additions. I seem to have got the game to run far better (even in Puerto Somba)
at a higher resolution and with distance at MAX. You may not think that's much,
until you see my system.

Given I have more then double of this guys system I'm pretty much enjoying it. Thought it is kinda late... good thing I thought that game code sucks too much that I didn't gave it away or bothered to retrun it.

[Digital Limit]

Whoa, that's terrible looking. What game is that?

[King Of Nothing]

Boiling Point: Road To Hell, I'm liking it even thought looks wee bit better then Quake 2... Thought I'm just fuckin' around instead progressing; roadside ambushes, jungle safari, runing over people like GTA in some banana republic, drug, alcohol, whores, crashing planes onto beggars (harder then it sounds)... I'm kinda playing a different game in it... Graphics look as if they are beaten ugly the reason is (god knows why) presistant world, I'm yet to understand the logic behind that since combat and most of the missions are in isolated areas.

[NiteX]

The full game is a bit better than the demo. Basically if you enjoyed Diablo 2 you will enjoy this game. Its pretty nice looking but a bitch to run, I had to put it on a lower res than my than my native and also turn off AA. Sometimes the frames still suck but its kinda rare now. The game isn't as great as Diablo 2 to me though, the combat is kinda blah compared to it. I do like the idea of mixing skills kinda like in Guild Wars though. At lvl 8 I will be able to choose a second skill mastery.

Anyone else buggered about that being the case? Prey is the latest demo that breaks the trend of being shitty.

I'm under the impression that developers are trying to sell their games with a shitty demo nowadays and it just doesn't make much sense to me.

For example, I recently d/led the B&W2 demo to test my new card and it turns out they took all the silver scrolls out of the demo lands. Honestly, that's absolute bullshit and totally made a fair game into a shitty demo. Ugh...

New video of Perfect Dark: Source.

http://qc-net.com/pmod/june06/pdark_felicity.wmv

You'll notice the sound design is a bit behind compared to the rest of the mod, as it's still using a lot of sounds from HL2. The crowbar and some other things won't be staying in the mod, of course.

They're planning on releasing a beta "soon". I'm really looking forward to it, this is one of the mods I've been looking forward to for a very long time.

[Jwr5]

Looks pretty cool.
Another interesting mod coming out for HL2 is Nuclear Dawn

DMC3 on the PC is fine. Runs cool also and the graphics are consolish but look much much better on 1600*1200 w/ 4xAA 16xAF. Also, once you get the hang on controls (which are fine after a while), you can really kick some ass. Really liking the game. I don't know why the fuck people bitch about everything. They just ported a damn thing and its fine.

The guys who made TS don't want to commit to such a lengthy project or something, but TS3 will eventually be released.

HT: A is not a really long game, there are 7-6 maps each with 3-4 big cities and a few towns with 2-3 unique quests for each and 2 generic quest that pop up randomly. If you like having big trucks runing over other cars or guning the f*ck out of each other it is a worthy distraction.

I hope every server admin with those kinds of maps in their rotation gets cancer, raped by a gorilla, set on fire, and hit by a bus. That goes doubly so for the creators of said maps.

If you've done even one of the following things, I fucking hate you and hope you die:


Enjoyed a Hellbender, Scorpion, or any other "Race" map in UT2K4.
Enjoyed a "Trials" map in UT2K4. I don't care if you want to pratice moves offline, but stop filling AS servers with these goddamn maps. These and the "Race" maps have destroyed Assault.
Enjoyed playing Natural Selection on ns_siege. Big ass bland maps with stupidly high amounts of resource nodes are lame.
Enjoyed playing any map that's essentially a giant box with a few walls spread about for you to hide behind. GREAT LEVEL DESIGN! Assholes.
Enjoyed playing on that shitty all-glass wall map in Raven Shield. What the fuck? Lamers. This applies to any map for any game that has all glass walls. Fuck you.
Turned up your gamma or brightness really high because you are a blind retard and can't see. Ajusting your brightness/gamma is fine if your screen really is too dark, but if you've maxed each out in order to gain an advantage I hope somebody sodomizes you with a spiked baseball bat.
Installed bright skins, or were one of the people that complained to Epic about the skins in UT2K3/UT2K4 being too dark. Stop being blind or don't play the game, shithead.
Actually like UTComp's stupid ass red and blue highlights and hitsounds. If you can't see your enemy, and you don't know if you're hitting them you shouldn't be playing the game. Faggot.
Exploited/abused a game bug or "feature" in order to gain a cheap edge. Yes, it's there, but that doesn't mean you should do it. Show some self-control you waste of life.

I'd appreciate one large blog about that RAY. It seemed like the start of a rather interesting read.

[NiteX]

Hehe, those race maps were awesome.

[Jwr5]

The whole server runs a warcraft 3 mod. I play on it because I am sick of the regular dod maps. The skills that you can unlock are fun and the custom maps are even better. I also play on a server without WC3 mod and custom maps. I dont think that you should rant about these custom maps untill you have actually played them. The first two screenshots are on a map that is essentially a glass maze that only allows the rocket class. Without custom maps I would have stopped playing DoD a long time ago. If you dont like them dont play on them. You dont need to bitch about it.

I have plenty to bitch about when some of the games I play are completely overrun by these shit maps and mods. Stupid short attention span fuckwads ruining my fun because they are too lame to play a game properly. I haven't played them? Of course I've played them, and I hate them. It's stupid shit invented by retards with A.D.D. that are too lame to play the fucking game properly. All mods/mutators like Warcraft 3 and RPG are total shit and should have never been invented. Ever.

These maps and mods were obviously invented by the kind of people that the warning in front of Jackass or Car commercials were meant for. Anybody that needs to be told not that they should staple their nutsack to their thighs and then set them on fire, or not to drive your car at 100MPH on an icy road deserves to die so their stupidity can be removed from the genepool and possibly save future generations from the same fate.

Don't like them don't play them, eh? I don't play them after I've had my first taste of their taint, but because in some games people only run these kind of shit maps and mods I have no alternatives so I end up not being able to play a game at all.

And another thing. Any server admin with shitloads of custom sounds needs to be taken into a dark alley and shot. I don't want to hear Beavis & Butthead, Homer Simpson, or any other TV personalities while playing my games. I don't want to hear "Multikill" in a WW2 themed game. And I sure as shit don't want horrible music blasting through my speakers.

Maybe if you want to play Warcraft 3 so badly you should go fucking play it. Maybe instead of an RPG mod you should just go fucking play an RPG. Stop spreading shit all over the walls of games that are otherwise good.

If you're tired of regular DoD maps, go play another game. Don't encourage people to ruin what the developers intended. What's the next fad going to be after people get tired of these maps? A mod where everybody runs around hitting each other with dildos?

I don't understand why people play DoD:S. It was fun for about a week, until I realized it's Counter Strike in WW2. Red Orchestra is where the action is.

I'm not a big fan, but I find it fun for the occasional (proper) match every now and then. I agree, Red Orchestra is awesomtastic, but I'm scared to buy it just to find out that there are only two servers with ten people each. I don't like buying games that nobody else plays.

Hehe, those race maps were awesome.


Go jump into a pit of fire.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

He forgot to mention those server admins who are dickheads.

It's true that "Absolute power corrupts absolutely.", but come on, I would like to just join a server and have fun, not get "gimped" or "llama-ed" by some admin who doesn't know how to set their fucking server settings right.

Fuck, this is so awesome. I don't know what a real 1965 GT40 handles like, but this simulation (GT Legends) makes it the ultimate super fun awesome great car. Everything about it is fucking great. Sure, it can't compete with a Murcielago, but it's more fun to drive. There's something about the acceleration between 3rd and 4th gear (at least in the default setup) that made me actually record it so I can watch it whenever I want.

As for the game, it's pretty awesome. At first it felt like just an expansion of GTR, but after a few hours of driving I can see why it deserves its own game. They really worked hard on this one and I actually feel bad for buying it off of Amazon for just $20.

I guess that's one of those things... something between funny and wierd and creepy...

[Dark_Swordmaster]

... What game is that?

[King Of Nothing]

Spellforce 2.

[LynX]

That is all sorts of wrong.

And wtf is gundam doing in spellforce 2?

[Dark_Swordmaster]

That's what I was thinking.

"Medieval gundam? WTF?"

[King Of Nothing]

Game is full of stuff like that; the king gives you fiefdom of an island and your helper there gives you gold from tresuary only if you improve the island... Lela is student of a professor named Twidilledum (or something like that) that looks like Proffesor from Back To The Future, I guess who will find time travel because he doesn't remember your first meeting even thought he helped you killing his nemesis... There is a simple card game which reminds those stupid anime card games. You start a game by saying " Let's challange against each other"... An Emo/Goth Elf penal colony... and it goes on... and they rock...

And they are making a monument dedicated to me, I guess, if I can find limestone. The island they give you is great, some of the people you meet on your travels moves to it, especially a dwarf blacksmith who makes exceptional weapons via side quests. All this stuff and I'm not even half way throught the game.

[tisl]

This expansion has serious balancing issues. I'm not that great of a strategist, so I even let the game choose troops for me and the enemy. This is what happened after a short battle.

[Ahriman]

That's vanilla BI? What factions are those again? I haven't played in a while, I forgot.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

He might be meaning the other expansion, Alexander. Either way, I can't decide if I want Gold, or if I want to wait for Medieval 2...

[Ahriman]

I had no interest in Alexander, so yeah, I have no idea about it. I was done with that game after my first playthrough.

What the hell? Isn't that game for the Xbox? I remember it looking a lot better. And Republic Commando will rock your tits off. It's what an FPS is supposed to be.

[Dark_Swordmaster]

Max Payne 2 - yes
Republic Commando - yes
Spellforce 2 - I hear yes so I'll say yes
X2 - no fucking way
SiN - ha! you got conned... so did I
Kill.Switch - I cannot believe you... so mediocre it burns

[No Soul]

Kill.Switch was released for PS2 and Xbox then later on, for PC. Xbox version probably got kicked up a bit. Besides I always wanted this game and for 3 bucks it was worth the 4 hours. Throughout the game I had Time Crisis in the back of my mind.

I really didn't care for the Republic Commando demo, but I'm giving it a benefit of the doubt as the trailers made the demo look like shit.

A friend told me that The Threat owned up The Reunion so here I am.

Sin bad? Say what?

Now Spellforce 2 is what I'm expecting to shine out of the bunch (except MP2). Hope I'm not horribly disappointed.

Be warned about Spellforce 2, do not attempt to have a warrior/magician and spoilerishly have Jared casting Corrosive Cloud/Shock and give the rest of the points to archery that way he will be both usefull and die less...

also sidequest are somewhat easier now, do all of them, expect for onr, which ends very late...

When's that coming out?

[Fortune Hunter]

Portal is coming with HL2: EP2 (TBA)

The Star Wars thing is just a tech demo, no actual game has even been announced yet as far as I know...

[Dark_Swordmaster]

It's not even a tech demo. It's fully prerendered. That's what pre-viz means, it's just a concept that they fleshed out to better present it....

Still cool though.

[Fortune Hunter]

Well lucasarts did get some new physics engine system thing for the new Indiana Jones game and an unnamed Jedi Knight game.

It is pre rendered, but I think its using the engine thing that they got

[Dark_Swordmaster]

It's obvious they are, if you know what they're using.

It should have been the standard 2 years ago. Do yourselves a favor and pick up the PLE and start playing. Funner than anything.

Edit:

The Game: Star Wars: Force Unleashed (supposed title) PC Xbox 360 and Playstation 3

[No Soul]

Overall it was decent until the last level. Then after when young bitch started fighting with jiggly-tits bitch, young bitch disappeared on me. Completely. The second time around I found her in a corner of the maintenance room. She didn't come with me so I left and she appeared as soon as I got to the mainframe.


That Star Wars video was shown at E3. Nice little read:
http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/starwars2007/news.html?sid=6150933

The last part in that video made me start thinking of how to actually program that into the game. But then thinking about it and accomplishing it aren't the same. If it was then we would've seen the Hydra in HL2 (get it?). Either way if it does make it to the new game and isn't scripted (not being able to rip-off parts of the enviornment all the time is understandable), I'll be impressed.

[Fortune Hunter]

well It might just be, think about HL2, in the citadel you can pull some of the TV screens off the wall, and it does the groan and bend before coming loose, so make that look like a big bar and have it come off, and then make the TIE the sort of enemy that can be killed if hit by a large thrown object. For instance in HL2 you can throw small debris at soldiers and nothing happens, so although the star wars thing is much larger scale I dont see why overall it isnt possible.

If it ends up being next gen like CRYSIS then it will be able to handle more non static objects than HL2 and you can see things like that happen

I thought SiN was alright. Definitely overrated because it felt way too linear. Seriously, disabling jumping so I can't get past the walkway that's going to break no matter what? Bah, fuck you. It's just another generic shooter, but the difficulty was awesome. I'm sure I unintentionally set a new world record for number of curses per hour, but that might be because I was too cocky with the difficulty. The boobs didn't hurt either.

[Fortune Hunter]

Theres even a nude mod... but nobody has bee sued...

Im gonna go and buy Flatout 2 tommorow

[No Soul]

Looks like you need some health Tisl, go grab some Hammer Cola and Grape Drink(?)! But beware, ninjas booby-trapped some vending machines with grenades. If you have enemies nearby, just pickup those grenades and start chucking.



Having more objects that can be used would be something, but what I talking about was to be able to completely control what would happen after soldiers and debris was lifted. Like if you were able to move the captured items around with the mouse, toss them against objects, electricute them, give them a tornado, or hurling them at other soldiers (similar how some of it was in the video). Thats what I was thinking of how they're going to program it. What I hoping is that we get unlimited mouse control. By which seems to be the only way unless scripted.

[No Soul]

I thought that RTS wasn't all that common, but I wrong.

Only problems I see:

--On half the maps so far the enemy can insta-spawn creatures. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this except that other factors make this an agonizing fist-in-the-ass experience later on in the game.
--Maybe someone could correct me on this but I don't see any way to pause and still use the interface. When I was trying to read the objectives, I get rushed by insta-spawns. When trying to start out by getting resources, I get rushed by insta-spawns. Trying to highlight an army near a cliff while enemy destroys my HQ = horrible fuckup.
--The furthest out zoom sucks ass. Can't see much when you have a lot of squads on-screen.
--Units sometimes run off to attack enemies that aren't on screen. Which technically points back to the zooming feature. Long-range archers and catapluts are a bitch to control while trying to completely avoid enemy units. Having riders run off to attack enemies then die off was fun too. If there was some kind of unit formations and strategies that would greatly help.
--Fixing builds couldn't be any fucking slower. Two units can destroy a building thats being fixed by five workers.
--Lots O' Crashing and freezing.

Most of these problems can be seen on returning to homeland map and the one before it.

HOLY SHIT! Flatout 2 kicks ass, it really does. It doesnt have the same charm as the first one, but its simply AMAZING, the handling is a bit different, but its just so much fun.

I dont like Starforce, but this game is really worth it, and it runs great.

A friend and I decided to see who could get to the other side first. Unfortunately there only 4 of us racing, so that was one person per team. Building a horizontal bridge by yourself is a real bitch. Instead of shooting crates in the air and trying to freeze them, we did it the dumbass way (see below). That asshole beat me to the glass-ceiling so without anything else to do, I built a wall on our sharing side. If there wasn't a limit I would've kept on building all-night until I reached the other side.

The first time we tried the building maps was on the one where you had to build against a cliff to reach a higher plane, and well, we were building on the opposite side...which was a long slope that went nowhere. Our brains lack the ability to comprehend simple puzzles...

I vote we gather a shitload of free trials, and give it to the /b/tards on the 4chan.org boards.

now this is terribly amusing...

Download a NO-CD thing for Flatout 2 (US version) and the UK version, with starforce... works and no longer need starforce...

However only drawback I see at this point... is that the multiplayer crashes when looking for servers... I will investigate further

While multiplayer is fun, and a thing Id like to have working, its nice to know I can play without starforce eating my dvd drive...
